...opened to the public last week. Discord and controversy had marked it since the day it was commissioned 16 years ago. Wright had proposed "one great space on a continuous floor," a gigantic, uncoiling drum of reinforced concrete that swelled outward as it rose, carrying within more than one-quarter mile of continuous ramps sloping upward six stories to a great glass dome 92 ft. above the ground. Paintings were to be tilted backward, "as on the artist's easel"; lighting would come from skylights above the ramp and would be reflected downward by louvers. "The net result...
...ones may produce seemingly identical symptoms. And a single virus may touch off, in different people, symptoms ranging from a "cold," a "sore throat," or "fever" to paralytic polio. Even paralytic polio cannot be diagnosed as surely as was believed in what Dr. Schuman called "the happy, unenlightened first quarter of this century," because several viruses simulate its signs. Even such time-honored children's infections as measles, German measles and mumps may deceive the physician. So, said Dr. Schuman, diagnosis often cannot be positive without a battery of laboratory tests...
...steel strike's effects continued to mount last week, one thing was certain: except in the steel industry itself, the strike had little effect on third-quarter earnings. Automakers, tobacco, chemical, oil and electronics producers all reported new highs. For most, third-quarter earnings were running about 20% ahead of the same period last year...
Even some of the struck steel giants, despite big quarterly losses, reported nine-month earnings well ahead of last year. Third-ranking Republic reported a net loss of $24,861,406, biggest quarterly loss in its 60-year history. But because of a record second period, Republic's nine months' net was $2.69 per share v. $2.50 last year. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., No. 6 among the nation's steelmakers, had a third-quarter loss of $7,149,660. In the first nine months of 1959, Youngs-town's net was $6.20 per share...
Leading the automakers' third-quarter reports was Ford Motor Co., which had earnings of $53.2 million, or 97? per share, v. a $14.9 million loss in the same period last year. The buoyant third period pushed Ford's nine-month earnings to $6.19 per share. Studebaker-Packard had a third-period net of $3,399,779, or 53? per share, v. a loss of $9,200,000 last year, pushed its nine-month earnings to $2.39 per share. Chrysler, hit hard by expansion and new model costs, reported a third-quarter loss of $34.2 million, highest...
